People in the US. You do realize we're the bad guys, right? Like, it's been true for a long time now, but do you realize how deeply, thoroughly, and openly we are LITERALLY the fucking villains, in every single area we can be?
@blackmediocrity
The part that hits me hardest is "I grew up poor so my view on money might be skewed."
No. HIS perspective on money is screwed. He thinks it's a fucking game, he can just pick and choose. His priority is to never let her have a single penny of the money he never earned.
@KelseyLee_D
@ask_aubry
Literally, his "you WILL not embarrass me" sent a fucking chill down my spine. This is how he acts when he's trying to woo her, what's he like when he thinks he's got her in the bag
This is not leftist ideology. This is right wing ideology.
"...you want somebody else to carry you." That's literally fascist ideology talking, marking out people as weak, as a burden on society and to the people around them. This is ugly.
@tomeofscribbles
@arahmanjones
And the VERY first time he mentions it is to talk about a prenup, because he will die before he lets her have the money he didn't earn. He didn't "wait" for anything; not paying is his goal.
@ask_aubry
The sheer, unmitigated, bone deep joy this brings me 💖💕 Dude thought he could order his girlfriend to fulfill his fantasy of having two woman-shaped objects worship him, and ended up watching two human beings develop a connection that has nothing to do with him 😂😂
@JoshuaPHilll
What drives me nuts is when people say "prices increased due to market demands," as if the price just kinda went up by itself, like the weather. They intentionally raise prices, whether or not their costs went up, and then act like it's out of their control.
@JessPected
@AirFriedRosie
This is one of those facts that I technically know, but it doesn't matter because my brain will never accept it and it's just as shocking every single time I hear it. Just fucking disgusting.
@arahmanjones
@tomeofscribbles
Have fun defending a worthless sack of shit dude, cause I'm not arguing with you. He's a pile of shit, and if you can't see that then that's on you.
@JessPected
It's always a "joke" the first time. Then the next time it gets brought up, it's a bit less of a joke. Until eventually, he's "joked" about it so many times and she hasn't left that he's done joking and expects her submission.
The longer I do sex work, the less patience I have for bullshit, especially from men. This has caused a kerfuffle among the men in my vanilla life, especially the ones who don't know I'm a whore.
@giantcu92
@IwriteOK
@vanjchan
Precisely this. Whether he knows it's shit is debatable, but he absolutely is giving himself an excuse to be rejected. It's the same reason they'll spout hate and say they're "joking," or proudly admit to being trolls. It frees them from accountability.
@TheEcho13
@ryanscottborman
Because words have meanings. Ryan said "you have a right to ASK," you said "you have a right to KNOW." Those are two different things
You do not have a *right* to someone else's history and personal activity. If there's no immediate danger to you, they don't have to tell you
I don't know if it occurs to civilians, but every time a SW is murdered, we grieve their loss and we wonder if we're next. We think about our rent and how much we have saved, and we do the math about taking that risk.
@ImJustErnest
@fonzwolf
Now imagine it happens again when you're trying to go to the bank. You're hungover walking to the store. You're sick and just want to get home. You're minding your business enjoying your walk. You're literally just existing. Endlessly, repeatedly, everywhere you go. Forever. 🖕
@mistressmatisse
Basically just "women are expecting me to actually give them pleasure, rather than being grateful I'm even willing to fuck them, and it's unnatural"
@CaelanConrad
She claims she "got the meeting shut down," but it looks to me like everyone is milling around after it's already over? Like, they're just calmly collecting their bags and coats after having sat for a long time, while ignoring her.
FSSWers (only)
What's your favorite skill that you developed specifically because of your work?
Mine is brushing my teeth without fucking up my lipstick. I'm unreasonably proud of this.
Me: *talks about so-called leftists using the same violent, ableist, exclusionary rhetoric as the right wing*
Some So-Called Leftist: "Lol you have trauma, everyone hates you" *fantasizes about harming me*
Thanks for proving my point, shitbucket.
@angel_0f_deathx
@kiranfatimaopal
That whole talk about "you just want people to carry you" is basically fascist ideology, marking people out as burdens to society.
Know why that "nobody grows up wanting to be a whore" line is bullshit? Because being a hooker is literally an archetype.
People want to be archetypes. Nobody dreams of being a clerk, or an accountant. They dream of storied ideals: firefighter, mother, leader, etc...
@JortsTheCat
@johnastoehr
No no but Jorts, you don't get it. See, all the other hundreds of times we've done "vote blue and we'll move them left" it was just practice. THIS time it'll totally actually be the time it finally works. Totally. Maybe. Unless it's just practice too. If so, then next time.
@whoreganizer
So glad they were there for you!! 💜💜 Not every sex worker is a good person, but all the very best people I've ever known are sex workers. Nobody else has our backs, but we have each other.
May I please just say that all of you whores, hookers, sluts, strippers, courtesans, camgirls, escorts, thots, and more, are all SO GORGEOUS AND I THANK FREYJA EVERY DAY THAT I GET TO SEE ALL OF YOU and I am humbled to be among such excellent and admirable company.
@supermathskid
Commentators saying shit like "she had no ego," and "she's just like all of us," while literally looking at the entire country forced to shut down for her funeral
@rxpsam69
@repmiIas
@SaeedDiCaprio
Exactly. It feeds into the existing assumptions of racists, old people, old racists, and warmongers. Even if it gets debunked 5 minutes later, it doesn't matter because it already served its purpose for them
@redpomgranat
I don't think I've seen a thread about his actions that I agree with more. Wearing his uniform was intentional, and I think he chose his words carefully.
@sextoyspolitics
@Chesaysthings
Please I really want to know.
"Oh it's so nice to meet you! It's been nice to chat these past days/weeks/etc. By the way here's my husband, he's part of this date too even tho you only like women, and he's been reading all our conversations even tho I never mentioned him."
@alicia_mae4
@dessiemaeliyah_
Except that the only reason europe was able to develop so fast was because of a centuries-long warm period that made everything way easier.
"We'Re ThE bEsT!" Yeah, at being born in an area that temporarily has overabundant food and allows for focus on growth.
He's so dumb. 🙄
@HumanMortal1
@AmyNoMiddleNam3
@ask_aubry
1) We have no way of knowing whether a man who hits on us is psycho or a "good one," so that measure is useless. 2) There's enough who ARE bad that we've all experienced this shit. 3) Maybe get mad at the ones ruining it for you, not at women for calling it out.
They're literally starting to require trans people be identified and tracked. Is this clear enough? Does everyone understand yet, or will you only believe it after the extermination camps start operating at full tilt
Do you understand what is happening?
This has nothing to do with encouraging girls to be athletes.
This is totalitarianism. It is the white nationalist agenda. The anti-LGBTQ agenda. The anti-abortion agenda. It is all the same agenda.
This is real. Shared with permission.
@wagonxburnerx
It's eerie to see some of the echoes of the 1920s. My writing project is set in the future but it's themed around the 1920s, specifically because I keep seeing our current age trying to recreate it in all the best and worst ways.
@_tinytonii

I'm sure their next campaign will be against the rampant sexual activity of plumbers, repair men, and pizza delivery guys 💀
@lingerie_addict
@JohannaPotente
What really fucked with me, as I was reading this, was my sudden realization that capitalists probably refer to this as "unskilled labor." 🤦🏻♀️😕
@WOFginger
@JoshuaPHilll
Bold of you to assume he invented a damn thing. Rich people literally buy the rights to patents all the time. He never said he created anything, just said he owned it. Creators don't speak that way, capitalists do
Anyone, ANYONE who would shame this mother can shut the fuck up right now. The fact that her daughter feels safe enough to talk to her about this is AMAZING, and she's helping her daughter be safe about something healthy that she's literally going to do no matter what.
My roommate is weird, she put down catnip for her cat and she said "yeah he's not like other cats, he just rolls around in it"
I was confused because like... that's what cats do with catnip. It's what they all do. What does she think they do? 🤔
@AthenahWinters
@supership79
That's the goal. People were in the streets asking police to stop brutalizing and murdering people.
Cops responded by brutalizing and murdering people, and added anonymous kidnapping to the mix.
Not hard to see who's at fault here.
@incelphobic
"I want you to lay in a really uncomfortable position so I can see, ass, crotch, boobs, face, and feet all in the same shot, and then recite this personalized speech I wrote, while having a real orgasm." 🙄🙄🙄
Anybody else ever feel like this CONSTANT defensive battle that SWers have to fight, fending off one institutional attack after another, is intended to keep us on the back foot?
Like, we can't fight for positive change if we're exhausted from fighting to survive.

As a side note, I love how Keffals has shredded her own reputation so badly that mentioning her now immediately tells someone how bad a situation is
@HumanMortal1

Cool cool cool. So the next time I get assaulted, I'll take comfort in the fact that you think very few men do it. I'm sure that'll help. 💜
Go fuck a brick.
@deepdownderp
@shockproofbeats
Tell them they're frightening, they get a boner. Tell them they're weird, it hits them dead center in their weak little ego
I can't get over the tweet I recently saw where a SWer said a homeless guy asked her for money and she mocked him saying "I sucked dick for my money." Like I get that part, but the long string of replies laughing at the homeless guy just felt horrible.
@gothspiderbitch
Honestly I imagine a scenario where the person who receives it is so charmed by the act, that they pull every string they have to convince their bosses to let them send you the poster, and in the process end up talking with you and it turns into a romcom
